How Autonomous Robots Are Changing Construction
Вставка

- There's a lot of buzz around self-driving cars, but autonomous-driving technology could revolutionize a different industry first - construction. That industry hasn’t changed much over the last several decades, according to some experts, making it an ideal candidate for automation.
“The way we build today is largely unchanged from the way we used to build 50 years ago,” said Gaurav Kikani, vice president of Built Robotics. “Within two years, I think we’re really going to turn the corner, and you’re going to see an explosion of robotics being used on construction sites.”
The industry is also faced with a labor shortage that the Covid-19 pandemic has further complicated.
“Covid is making people step back and say, ‘hey, the way we’ve been doing things for a long time is just not sustainable,’” said Kevin Albert, founder and CEO of Canvas. “It is just a wake-up call for the industry.”
Canvas is one of several companies working on autonomous construction technology. Big players like Caterpillar and Komatsu, and start-ups like SafeAI and Built Robotics, see value in using autonomous machines to accelerate construction projects.
The mining industry was one of the first to employ the use of self-driving tech. Caterpillar began its first autonomy program more than 30 years ago. The company now has the largest fleet of autonomous haul trucks. Caterpillar says it’s hauled 2 billion metric tons in just over six years.
Built Robotics is a San Francisco-based start-up founded by an ex-Google engineer that already has machinery out in the field. It’s automated several pieces of equipment, such as bulldozers and excavators.
“You can now collapse your construction timeline so you can knock out work overnight so that it’s ready for your human workers in the morning to speed them along,” Kikani said.
SafeAI is another Silicon Valley start-up. It recently teamed up with Obayashi for a pilot program. It’s been retrofitting equipment like dump trucks, bulldozers and loaders.
Robots are also helping inside. San Francisco-based Canvas created an autonomous machine for finishing drywall and has worked on projects like the San Francisco International Airport and Chase Arena. Humans work alongside its robotic system.
“Drywall is very hard work on the body,” Albert said. “And we’ve seen that 1 out of every 4 workers has to end their career early because of injuries. This will create longer careers for people and also enable people to join the trades that haven’t had access before.”
The construction industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy, with about $10 trillion spent each year. That spending accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, even though the sector’s annual productivity growth has only increased 1% over the past 20 years. According to McKinsey & Co., $1.6 trillion of additional value could be created through higher productivity, and autonomy would help the industry achieve that.

A shame Andrew Yang wasn’t taken seriously by the DNC and MSM... we are literally seeing his platform warnings unfold before our eyes. Just hope he has some type of seat at the party for this next administration. American workers/families are gonna need him.
Yang may have to switch parties or become independent to take on Biden in 2024.
@@drsmetal2747 the thing is, independent literally never wins. Not only that, a whistle-blower from MSNBC had come out stating they were given orders to never report on Yang, alongside some other democratic nominees.
this isn't unfolding anything. Some automated excavators that have been around for 7 years according to the video, and yet they're still yet to see mass use. And they don't even do the job necessarily better or cheaper than humans. Yang's ideas on automation, even though they were well-meaning, were way over-exaggerated. His talk about manufacturing jobs being "automated away" doesn't stand up to an examination of the facts or even common sense. If it were all automated away, we wouldn't be running a massive trade deficit with countries with low wages (afterall, it's all "automated", right?). This talk about automation has been ongoing for years and years and years, and the pace has not drastically changed.

@@Clyde why?
Wwould this solve the issue of 6 month road construction projects, where 5.5 months of orange barrels block all lanes and 0.5 months of actual work?
Thats mainly because of stupid paperwork and bureaucracy in public works.
Doesn't solve BS Bureoucracy.
I am a field engineer doing road construction for oil and gas a head of the rigs. When we are allowed to close roads we can rebuild 5 miles of 2 lane roads paved and lined from gravel 1 lanes in 2 weeks. When we need to keep lanes open it drags on. Instead of placing 2 inches of asphalt each lane, we have to place 2 smaller lifts, doubling time on paving. Then you have to coordinate utility relocations. It is also slower to do safety, we have to manage zones and limit where we work so we can't work efficiently as we would like.
No it won't solve the problem of people taking about subjects they know nothing about.
They'd need a way to continue the corruption and bribes in these projects though, I propose in the name of efficiency that the friends of politicians who own these firms, just be given access to local authority bank accounts.

well heck, i feel a whole lot worse about the heavy equipment operator course im taking rn
Don't worry, the labor union will do their best to keep the Industry stuck in the past
Time for a new course. Live in the present think about the Future.
@@harrisonwintergreen1147 I wouldn't blame them in this case, replacing heavy equipment operators does nothing to improve the industry besides cutting costs by getting rid of the best jobs in construction. They tried to claim at the start of the video that this will somehow reduce injuries, yet all it does is get rid of the one job that doesn't involve manual labor. It's ridiculous.
I'm literally in a structural ironworking union so I am not pleased about this at all
@@MrMattumbo I mean, isn't cutting costs improving the industry by incentivizing more construction?
They are correct that workplace injuries will be reduced for construction workers. How many injuries will happen to a construction worker while they are at home waiting for their unemployment check to arrive.
They could injure themselves playing fortnite, PUBG @home.
I doubt they'll give us unemployment, they'll let us be homeless or x us off

@@PHlophe You can relax but it's not the same thing as autos replacing horses. Even autos are driven by humans. This time it's computers replacing the humans. Wake up.
So this is how robots will literally crush us.
There will be job for robots and human...
I see what you did there. Yes soon sites will be prohibited for human entry.
@@b3armonk And this is a good thing, humans should not be doing dangerous work.
XIAO
Do you really think that this is limited to construction work? Almost every industry fill face this fate. Furthermore many of these workers actually enjoy their jobs. Which aren’t to dangerous if there are proper safety precautions.
@@gcc2313 Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, here in Sweden 14 people lost their lives in the industry and we have very strict safety rules, the problem is that in real life they are sometimes discarded for economic profit.
And that's why a UBI is necessary
Maybe it’s not the solution
If you've been in the construction industry as one of the operator like myself of such heavy machineries you know it'll be a long shot still before we see these autonomous technology taking over, those equipment still needs human intervention. To fellow operators around maybe its time to move forward and take notice of these autonomous tech, learn about it and figure how to still be part of the construction industry. Technological advancement is good overall, but theres gonna be those that gonna left out of the only job that they enjoy/like/passionate about if they don't move forward.
Agree. The biggest issue is the disconnect between these programmers and tech people with the skilled tradesmen. They will never see eye to eye and won't understand the fact ls of each side. Those machines picking up 1/4 buckets in 4 seconds will never become more efficient then a human picking up full buckets in a second. AI has a long way to go in 70% of this industry. Haul trucks, scrapers, dozers will be the first to automate but will need heavy assistance of human operators getting most of it prepared doe the robots.
GPS assisted equipment is the present and future but too many of the operators are old timers that refuse to give it the chance.
@@vikkzx If cost isn't the 1st lens of examination of this paradigm shift, then you're missing the point. Robots don't need rest and they can operate at a fraction of the cost of human labor. Ppl's skill is irrelevant, they will find a way to replicate human efforts over time (and with the help of human operators no less). The technology is progressing so fast that they will figure out their way around inefficiencies and problems. It's coming. There's nothing we can do to stop it.
@@afterthought6889 this will happen but it's not close. We're 20 years from this being viable. I have seen these in demos and they are so inefficient and clunky. These programmers have no idea what they are doing. The cost of fuel, maintenance is comparable to the labor.
Having a machine run 24/7 at 10% capacity compared to an operator at 80% capacity for 8 hours it will be alot more efficient with an operator compared to the AI.
I have worked making the 3d modules for GPS assisted equipment and have realized how disconnects techies are to this industry and how bad their models are. They have no clue and won't until we get people who understand technology as well as this operator skills.
@@vikkzx i hear you. I tend think it's a lot closer than you think though. All the smart $ is behind machine learning. Progress will likely be exponential, not linear. Based on what you see now you're thinking we have 20 years to figure out what to do...the trucking industry thought they had 20 years just 5 years ago.
Don’t be surprised if it happens faster Then you realize, ai is making fast strides
So, basically automated farming too? Like in Interstellar.
Entendeu !
@@PHlophe oui oui

And when the satellites go down for maintenance the equipment stops. It happens in agriculture in Australia

I work in this industry, and yes it’s possible to automate certain large scale mining or excavation projects. With that said, there is way too much discretion involved for AI to make human decisions and adjustments on 90% of job sites.
for the moment.
@@balushidoublecdown942 It always will be. Each job site is uniqe. Especially when it comes to budget oriented projects and in Asia. Muddy work, hillside work, bucy and unplanned roadwork.. And then there's Asia.. My god that'd be a nightmare for any AI. It's just way too many variables and more to learn on a daily basis. Not even AI can get adapted to it. And the too many human factors ebedded and uniqe to this industry is insane. So, as said, Autonomous mining is easy in planned and slowly changing job sites like huge mines. Just not for economically and socially stormy environments..
Perhaps with the ability to monitor autonomous machinery construction workers can drive the machines while working from home.
Automation (which includes AI) can improve the workers' quality of life, repetitive tasks for long periods of time are nocive for humans, people in the future will be working at home, and just doing very specific and personalized tasks.
We all knew this was gonna happen lol I didn't think it would happen so soon
The mining industry here in Australia has been using autonomous trucks for quite a few years now. Komatsu and Caterpillar. The company I work for even use autonomous trains and drills. It’s weird when a giant dump truck carrying 250 tonnes of iron ore drives past you and there’s no driver behind the wheel.
I urge all viewers to understand that introduction of major robotization will lead to an immediate decrease in citizen income and increase of corporate income, unless we come up with a creative worldwide solution.

44 construction workers die every year during excavation work, having autonomous robots doing the job would completely eliminate any deaths involved with excavation. excavation is one of those jobs should be done by autonomous robotics.
Vehicles stole jobs
Interesting video, but it would also be nice to have the point of view of people actually working on construction sites and not only the one of tech entrepreneur or journalist. Beside, the construction costs in the US are not representatives of the rest of the world. Automation won't solve any permitting issues and having machines capable of working at night won't be of any help if there are local regulations in place which restrict it anyway because of noise constraints.

If a robot can eliminate skilled trades that took years to learn and master then no career is safe. If no career is safe this is a disincentive to invest in skills and education. If artificial intelligence will be doing all the computer programming in 15 years why would anyone who's going to college study computer programming?
I work with people who are experts in the AI field.. AI is an over used buzzword that doesn't even exist. What we have today is machine learning that requires huge sets of data and models to create something that has zero intelligence.
Another excuse so Kubota, Caterpillar, Case, John Deere can lease more expensive gear to construction contractors, since the old one cannot operate with self driving pods.
And because of contracts with no right to repair , there goes the yard mechanic out of the door. And since there will be no repairman on-site , as soon as the new technology malfunctions , as it always does, you have the perfect excuse for cost overrun and project delays.
Come to think, it is always better to get experienced crane, backhoe, plow operators who can safely perform their trade.
This is going to be a huge blow to migrant workers and refugees that typically look for these kinds of jobs.
No lefty governments will lower the standards to hire them. Then when they destroy and break everything guess who’s going to pay. The government. That’s code for the tax payer
@@fnnnknorth What's amazing is that immigration rights activists groups that campaigning against companies that perform automation because it threatens their employment to find work in industries like restaurants/fast foods, farming/agriculture, and delivery/transportation not to mention automation in factories.

People in tech want to take every single job, google predicts 300 millions of jobs will be lost by 2030 world wide because of tech
I've done both construction and computer programming. This story is hyped up because a construction site changes significantly on a daily basis; without true AI, it is hard to program a computer for that. Snow shovelling is much more programmable because you would program an unchanging roadway or walkway to be shovelled.
Given that these are intended to be still operated by humans, I don't see at all how this would be an issue.
To those people who are worrying that digitization and automation are gonna undermine their work, it totally depends on what kind of job you are doing. If you are an inexperienced and unskilled construction worker doing repetitive mundane things for a living ,then you are likely to lose job. But if you are quite professional in this industry,you can survive and even thrive when automation hits it. Because robots by no means know why we need to construct a ramp for handicapped person and reserve so much precious space for green land.
how many people you think will be hired by robotics industry? Will that number be same as that of the jobs displaced by the robotics and machine learning?

I know there are many out there that will argue "there will always be jobs," yes, i would agree.
However, i just want to point out that we're slowly moving into service-base jobs, because lets face it, college graduates don't shovel dirt, or lift 100lb bags of cement after getting a degree in computer engineering or micro-biology.
These (manual labor) occupations, are largely filled by working class folks and migrants with low levels of education. I have several uncles that made decent money working construction, with current back problems due to years in the field, but they ventured into that field because they were recent migrants and receiving a decent education in their home country is expensive.
That's kind of the point. The dream is to be a pampered, well-educated white collar man and not a migrant with chronic back pain and probably cancer or some other debilitating disease from asbestos/lead/carcinogen exposure.

It's a good platform for automated space Construction
Thus eliminating MORE good paying jobs funny how few people even consider this not a good thing
still the manual work not change
So many jobs will be lost I wonder how things will turn out.
@@gcc2313 so many jobs wre lost at the invention of the fire you know

You seem to not take this seriously. Even if only manual work is left it a significant portion of other job will be lost. And robotics and AI can do some manual work jobs and probably already does so. There is literally AI generated music etc. Very few jobs can’t be replaced.
@@gcc2313 the only jobs who cant be replaced are the replacement chalenge of human robot buidler and programmer because AI alone not made the work
I'm tired of the whole,
"But we'll be out of jobs" argument.
So we have to sacrifice efficiency simply because people don't want to learn new skills?
"Not everyone wants to be a programmer."
Be something else then. There are so many different things you could be in this world. And some of them are done more efficiently and safely by autonomous systems. We went from carrying all produce ourselves, to putting it on a horse and cart, to 18 wheelers, and maybe soon to autonomous vehicles. Things move on, new jobs will be created.
I have no sympathy for people that don't want to adapt to a world that has always changed, especially when the change makes sense. If the change doesn't make sense then fair enough.
Just call them luddites and move on. These people will always exist and have since the first time fire was invented. It's undestandable because people find value and meaning in their work, and changing into another profession or another environment means losing their identity.
These guys would've been against lightbulbs because the people making candles would lose their market. Or against the gps because map makers would lose their jobs. Or against smartphones because gps's, mp3's, cameras and house phones would be made obsolete.
Don't forget to read the rising unemployment figures.
You think there's a connection with this and the mysterious monolith in Utah? I'm saying Unicron is awakening.
It's gone now🤔 scary times 😅

Eliminating the middle class 50% complete..... loading 🤖
"Human Error" meaning existing
There they go more robot's. Take what JOB'S are left. It's always about the bottom line.
Robots are not the problem. Business practices and tax/social policy are the real issue. If a machine can perform as well or better than a human than they should. When it comes to labor [that can be automated] machines are better in almost every way. The key is to use this newfound productivity for the benefit of everyone instead of just the 1% and other elites.
Robot rights.
Unprecedented scale of layoffs looks imminent...
Most of our vehicles now are bots like cars, trains, tractor, dozers, planes, boats and ships. Even vacuum cleaners are bots.
The University of Florida and the Air Force Research Lab at Tyndall Air Force base designed and automated a John Deere Excavator, a D8 Bulldozer, a long reach Excavator and many skid steers with multiple implements almost 30 years ago.
How soon until we have a Runaway Squad with Police Officers specializing in malfunctioning robots. 😁
I didn’t see any robot welders.
I miss the 80’s.

This will be the closest to seeing real-life Constructicons
Maybe one day robots can displace the jobs of these engineers and then they will know how it feels to have there job killed
Hmm, being an engineer, I can say that I can always reskill myself to fit the new requirements. And there is almost always going to be requirement for engineers, no matter how skilled your AI is
@@thunderb00m If AI can constantly learning at 10x speed and innovate on its own, It won’t take long to replace you.

@@JMian You overestimate the power of AI lol
Man any of y'all watch these videos and feel like life is moving so fast, people are coming up with all these ideas and you're just sitting here chilling watching videos.
Where we going ,human out robot in ,how we going to feed our families
Find the will to keep learning! Enjoy the ride man!
Adapt or die.
Construction should be done by automation anyways. People have smarter brains and should do more with them than manual labor
Manual labor is obsolete
How can they claim this will reduce strain on workers when they're planning on replacing the one job that doesn't involve manual labor? Heavy equipment operation is one of the few construction jobs that is actually skilled, high wage, and comfortable (and fun). Now the only construction jobs for people will the most mundane, back-breaking, and low-skill/low wage. Good job silicon valley, keep splitting society further in two so we can all either be part of a limited pool of highly skilled workers or totally unskilled workers and give the business owners an even higher share of the profits.
Yang: Guys, automation is going to take away jobs and we need to start thinking about how we can support a society when we have a significant reduction in jobs.
America: LOL that's from movie.
Yeah, wonder how these robots are going to pay into the system? Don't worry, these robots will put your kids out of work, please let them take an economics class and be smart about their money.
@@stever7638 What money? Unless you're born into wealth chances are when you leave your parents you're broke.
@@meoff7602 No sir. However, offspring tend to follow their examples, aka, parents, but the parents need to teach kids economics, as well as learn it in school.
Young adults leaving high school can surely make it, they just need to live within their means. Seek a financial advisor, and put their money away. Enjoy a retirement, the 8th wonder is compounding interest, the sooner you start, the better off you are. The first 5-8 years is paramount. You don't need a new iPhone every year, or a $40K car, or a big house.
The pandemic is doing that right now
@@stever7638 Wow, WTF does that have to do the fact that machine are making so there are no job?
You can't actually think, just be smart with your money.
Try to keep up. The issue is there will be no jobs for new generations to make money to be good with.
For everyone saying AI will result in job loss, it's probably true, but they also said multiple times (2:25 & 9:06) that there is a labor shortage in construction.
I had to do a good deal of scrolling down to find someone talking about this. Who is going to take over when all the Baby Boomers/Xers retire?
Wait this isn’t B1M.
Autonomous equipment is something to think about, it still will need to be observed of what is going on in case something unexpected comes up: encountering buried pipelines or data lines, power lines... The unexpected are out there.
Then we see labor robots like setting cement blocks and plastering.
no they just paint flats and digg in sand
Why would they need to set cement blocks when they can just print them out site or any shape for that matter.
@@gabrielrobinson6987 maybe you dont take the cement spray as durable as casted
why they dont spray metal instead of casting
Maybe it is different somewhere else but in my experience most construction sites run on improvisation and quick fixes.
I really can't tell if adding more complexity will help.
